problem with Visual Composer after v3.3.0 update

Do you use W3 Total Cache by any chance? I was having the same issue. So what I did was deactivate it, install Yoast 3.3 and then reactivate it. I use Visual Composer on many sites and that’s the only way I could get it to work for some reason.

Page Builder by Site Origin also disappeared after the upgrade. Luckily it was on a test site and I turned off Yoast SEO for now. Once deactivated, Page Builder came back and nothing was lost. Page Builder worked fine with Yoast SEO 3.2.5

I can confirm Visual Composer (the latest version) works on my sites with Yoast SEO 3.3. I had to refresh cache. That’s all. It was breaking before, showing white screen of death. But deactivating cache plugin fixed it.

Yes, I do use W3 Total Cache plugin but deactivating it did not help with the current problem.

Interesting. I use Visual Composer on ConnectedCrib (my site) and the issue was fixed. Also, all the sites I updated with InfiniteWP were upgraded even without deactivating W3 Total Cache directly. You are using Visual Composer 4.12, right?

What error(s) did you see in your JavaScript console when the conflict occurred?

If you don’t know how to check for errors, please refer to Yoast Knowledge Base.

Yes, I updated Visual Composer to the latest 4.12 version. The problem remains even if W3 Total Cache is deactivated.

Here is what I see in JS console:

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.0
load-scripts.php:9

Hi there.

I do not use any caching plugin. All plugins: VC and Yoast are up to date. I get this javascript error:

TypeError: $ is not a function

...,{}],10:[function(a,b,c){function d(a){$(".yst-traffic-light").attr("class","yst...

wp-seo-...r=3.3.0 (Zeile 1, Spalte 8582)

Hmm something is blocking $ from being a function, which blocks our jQuery from working.

Yes. Happend after update to newest ersion of yoast…

Hi there,

here to:

`wp-seo-post-scraper-330.min.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function

that breaks visual composer functionality, but I need it for some theme options in blog posts!

Ah, I am Using:

WPBakery Visual Composer Version 4.12
Yoast SEO Version 3.3.0
Wordpress Version 4.5.2

Okay, fixed this:

$(“.adminbar-seo-score”) replace with jQuery(“.adminbar-seo-score”)

and

$(“.yst-traffic-light”) replaced with jQuery(“.yst-traffic-light”)

in file wp-seo-post-scraper-330.min.js.

Hey Myar,

yeah, we found that too. We’ll fix this in a point release tomorrow first thing (it’s 23:30 here).

Hey all, 3.3.1 should fix this!

Thank you, Joost! 3.3.1 update fixed my problems.
